69. Strange Elf (1)

I stroked Shione’s hair for a while and then I gently pushed her shoulder.

Then, Shione gently released her arms from her embrace and stepped back from her.

I checked my clothes at the same time that Shione fell away from me.

I was worried that the blood from this troublesome master’s dress would get on my clothes as well.

It’s embarrassing, but fortunately all the blood on her clothes has dried up, so my clothes are fine.

Knock.

Shione looks up at me like a small animal, as if asking why in a good mood toward me.

I said as I looked over her dress.

“Let’s start by changing that dress and talking.”

“Ah.”

At my words, Shione remembered her own outfit.

Not only is the front of the blue dress discolored to brown due to hardened blood.

Her skirt had been ripped off because it interfered with the battle, so she was showing off her thin, white bare legs.

It’s like blood. It’s unavoidable when you point your sword at each other and fight.

I can only see bare legs, just above the knee.

I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of.

“Ooh… ….”

Seeing Shione lower her head and let out a cry of pain.

She seems to have finally realized how she was being held by me.

I took care of her laborious Sione with all her heart and soul, and she became a human being before I knew it ─

Sook.

I went into bed as if it were natural.

Shione, who was lying on the bed and talking to me, fell asleep soon after, as if she was quite tired from today’s work.

I was sitting on the bed and was about to get up to go back to my quarters and rest.

“… Ray.”

Dreams and dreams.

Shione narrowed her eyes, looked at me through her sleepy eyes and took my hand.

As I was about to get up, she weakly grabbed my hand and pulled me into her chair again.

“Can you stay by my side?”

It’s hard to die, but don’t rest in peace and stick by your side?

“Perhaps it’s because I’m overdoing it, even my body feels heavy… Wouldn’t it be better for me to rest a little today?”

No words.

I’m sorry, but I need to get some rest now.

* * *

In the end, I stayed by Shione’s side until she fell asleep, the moment when my master’s breathing began to stabilize.

I went straight out of her room and back to my quarters.

Fluff.

Lying on the bed as if collapsing, I stared at the ceiling endlessly.

I’m tired.

To the extent that even such a soft bed could not relieve my fatigue.

“If this is the case, I think it would be more convenient to catch another Arachne.”

Because of the things that have been happening for three days without interruption, I have been ruined in a mess.

On her first day, she took Shione to buy her dress, and then she hooked up with Noah and everything happened.

Even on the second day, she took Shione to the banquet hall, and it wasn’t enough that she was stamped by her princess, and she almost lost her chastity to this unscrupulous master.

She, moreover, she was at the climax, she attended Adelheit’s coming-of-age ceremony with Sione until this division came out.

“What the hell.”

What is this bastard, Sione, after he came up to the capital, he doesn’t miss a single day and creates a job?

To the point where, at least for now, Sione is much more of a nuisance than the devil worshipers.

“Write… ….”

With a sigh, I managed to shake off the grumbling.

Yeah, what can I do if I regret that it’s already too late.

I have to endure it with evil.

Thinking that, I slowly closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes again and checked the newly opened status window.

[The quest has been completed.]

The first thing that came to mind was that word that the quest was completed.

I deleted all the status windows full of useless limbs and confirmed the history change that came out as a reward.

What is the reward you got this time?

[Adelheit Aicilia begins to walk a different path from her existing history.]

[History begins to flow with a more positive reaction.]

[Heroes who have been lost before she even shines her light once centered around her will get a chance to emerge brightly.]

Increased number of high-level allies who will be able to deal with the coming demons together.

And—

[History begins to change in earnest around you.]

[The relationship with the main characters of the continent deepens.]

[Increases the chance of your contact with key characters.]

“… f*ck.”

It’s already full and overflowing with just one.

In addition to this, it even relates to the point of contact with characters who are moving along on a continental basis.

I didn’t think I would only get more stress from the status window that I checked to relieve stress.

I nervously erased the status window and slammed my face into the pillow.

Please, please, please God. Let’s go quietly until tomorrow.

* * *

A new year has risen.

The refreshing morning air came in through the slightly open window at night and brightened my spirit.

Thanks to the autumn wind, which is starting to get chilly little by little, I finished my grooming without any difficulty.

Unlike yesterday, I plan to leave it in a black room.

Even so, I don’t intend to bring a bow.

What kind of attendant would walk around the royal castle with a bow gripped and an quiver strapped to his back?

The castle’s guards must have been strengthened, since there’s not a single quest that comes to mind, so there won’t be anything dangerous.

It’s just that there’s no need to carry around that sharp lump of iron that is sure to become a burden.

I left my lodging and walked to Sione’s lodging across the street.

Maybe because it was early in the morning, there weren’t many people except for the occasional guards.

Because I couldn’t see or hear the people around me glancing at me or whispering that it was yesterday’s story.

I moved slowly, enjoying the morning sunlight.

“That blonde….”

Elf.

And when our eyes met, I saw the elf who even smiled brightly and waved his hand gently.

That, too, was a dwarf who was slowly approaching us from far away.

I frowned at the elf leisurely walking this way.

‘Ah, sir. Really.’

It’s difficult.

After all, elves can smell the scent of spirits.

To put it in their words.

For those who made a contract with the wind spirit, the fresh grass smell.

And from the fire spirit, you can feel the spirit’s scent through the incense burning firewood.

Perhaps if that elf came near me to some extent, I would feel the scent of burning grass.

‘To go round and round…. Tsk, it must be too late.’

Because the elf’s turquoise eyes are already focused on me, capturing every single action I take.

Elfran people never want to let go of the beings who bought their curiosity.

If you try to run away, it’s obvious that they will somehow catch up and talk to you.

I hid the energy of the spirit I possessed as tightly as possible, and did not pay any attention to that elf. I walked, looking straight in front of me.

But still.

The moment I tried to pass by that dwarf.

“Maybe—”

An elf with a bright and bright smile, like a child looking for a fun toy.

She turned to me, who quietly stepped beside her, and let out a beautiful voice.

“Aren’t you the one who cut down the mines yesterday?”

I faced her while adjusting my expression as calmly as possible at her elf’s words.

“… Yes, I was lucky enough to cut down a few.”

“As expected, my eyes weren’t wrong. Yesterday’s performance was really cool. To borrow the words of humans… Should I say that he was like Mr. Namgi?”

“That’s too much praise.”

“It’s too much praise—”

The elf’s eyes started to glow.

“A human who is not a strong beastman… Isn’t that an achievement achieved by a man alone? Besides, especially the first time the monster tried to attack her princess.”

Moreover, look at the way that blonde-haired dwarf speaks.

She seems to have been quietly watching the whole situation from the beginning.

“Because that devil’s attack was swift and heavy. I thought she wouldn’t take it.”

The elf’s green eyes narrowed her eyes while keeping the corners of her mouth raised and smiling.

“You even managed to put it up and hit it with ease.”

The aura of that green eye became sharp enough to sting my skin.

“I… I thought you dealt with mana too? It is also of a high standard.”

As expected. I see you talking like this.

This elf seems to have noticed that I can handle mana in Adelheit.

That’s why it was even more difficult.

Elves have as much greed as their superiority towards their race.

From noble mtl dot com

Although unstable, a male human who cut the heads of two demons on the spot. Let alone swordsmanship, it is certain that he can handle mana.

For elves who are obsessive and possessive, I am sure they would consider me a pet or a treasure they would most like to have.

As much as I know how hard it can be if you get involved with elves this way.

I responded to her compliments with a natural smile, so that I could appear as calm as possible.

“It’s mana to me, a mere man. The praise is too much, I don’t know what to do.”

At my words, the elf swept through my hair, which glowed more brilliantly in the morning sun, and began to caress my chin leisurely.

“Isn’t your smile too hard for saying that?”

“Yes… ? What do you mean by that…….”

“Well, you have a greater power than mana. To say that he handles mana at a mediocre level wouldn’t be too cheesy. So I will ask.”

After saying that, the elf slowly approached me step by step, closing the distance.

I took one step backwards to match those steps.

Poof!

The elf snatched her by the collar and pulled me towards her.

Sniff.

Smelling her scent, she opened her cherry lips, creating an enchanting smile.

“Yes, Mana. I’ll skip to Mana… Human, how can a human who is not an elf exude the scent of a spirit?”
